About
8th-century temple housing one of Japan's most imposing bronze Buddha statues.
Founded in the mid-8th century, this vast Buddhist temple contains a monumental bronze Buddha in an impressive wooden hall. The current building is smaller than the original. Arriving early lets you enjoy the calm before crowds.
